“…RoHS is a mandatory standard developed by the European Union legislation; its full name is "Restrictions on the Use of Certain Electrical and Electronic Equipment in the Instructions" (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). This standard was implemented mainly for the specification of electrical and electronic products, materials, and process standards, making it more conducive to human health and environmental protection [20]. The European Union legislation promotes the collection and recycling of such products [21].…”

“…The European Union legislation promotes the collection and recycling of such products [21]. The purpose is to eliminate lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium and flame retardants such as polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) in electrical and electronic products, requiring them to be substituted with safer alternatives [20]. These six hazardous materials are applied widely in consumer electronic products.…”

“…These six hazardous materials are applied widely in consumer electronic products. Because of cost issues and industry tradition, many common components or processing technologies still employ these materials [20]. Lead is usually used as solder, as a glass additive, and a PVC stabilizer.…”

“…Consumer electronic products should be designed to be easily dismantled, reassembled, and reused to avoid the waste of resources and environmental pollution. The basic assembly modes of consumer electronic products are snap connections, rivet connections, bolt connections, welding connections, and glue connections [20]. As shown in Table 2, among these assembly modes, the bolt connection is easiest to dismantle; snap connections and glue connections can be dismantled, but it is fairly difficult; while rivet connections and welding connections mostly cannot be dismantled.…”

consumer electronics produce a huge amount of waste and harmful residuals every year. This study investigated how to avoid or reduce environmental pollution through the design of consumer electronic products. Through a literature review, analyses, discussions, and case studies, we defined design strategies for developing sustainable consumer electronics. First, material selection should be considered from the perspectives of users, usages, and use environment in accordance with environmental protection requirements. The application of recyclable and remanufacture-able materials is the inexorable trend. Second, electronic products should be designed with simply disassembled structures that employ as many recyclable functional components as possible. Third, the information on the packaging or labels of consumer electronic products should be designed with graphics that are as easy to understand as possible and within an appropriate amount. Moreover, ingenious design solutions that can motivate users positively and actively to alter their environmental protection behaviors are expected.
